Prairie smoke 1938 by Dickinson State University

TH E C H A L L E N Q E The Spirit of the Frontier has become embedded in our national traditions and has been called the American Dream because of its vision of a better, richer, and happier life for all of our people. O ut of this dream has come the College of the present day with its challenge to every young person to come up a little higher. No Institution can be true to its heritage of the past and not feel the urge each year to fresh endeavors for those whom it serves. Unless a College is animated by something beyond the everyday routine of class schedules, it will never be great. Unless there be within its Faculty and Student Body a force which is stronger than the individual forces of its personnel, it will not achieve its greatest usefulness. Without a dedication to a task of larger scope than even teaching, a vision of that ancient but ever youthful enterprise of making men and women, no College can ever be truly great. Ours is a young Institution in a young land of far flung skies and distant vistas. Our College is a product of the restlessness and longing of the pioneer. It is our hope that this Institution may discharge well the reÂ sponsibilities and obligations of this day even as the pioneer did in his day. H. O. PIPPIN

DEDICA TION To L. G. PVLVER To one who has proven himself the friend and counsellor of every college student; one who has willingly and efficiently served the institution in many capacities.

FOREW ORD In order that your memories may be perpetuated, we have attempted to inscribe on these pages an accur ate and interesting representation of the year’s activities. We, the Staff, hope that we have been able to build for you a lasting record; one which, in the future, may afford you innumerable pleasures. “ 1938 PRAIRIE SM O KE STAFF’

1938 PRAIRIE SMOKE STAFF Under the supervision of Mr. Smith, faculty adviser for the 1938 Prairie Smoke, the S taff has been enabled to publish the sixteenth edition of the college year book. Providing a practical experiment in a journalistic undertaking, the Prairie Smoke offers the student body a chance fo r expression, which not only results in a lasting collection of unequalled experiences which have become memories, but also equips it with a proven knowledge of journal ism which may later be used to great advantage. Because of the p a rt it plays in the life of the student body, the P rairie Smoke has become one of the leading organizations and activities within the institution. T hat the Associate Editor of each yearbook be the Editor of the suc ceeding book has been the custom adopted in choosing the head of each year’s s ta f f ; a custom which has been definitely established as a rule' by the Publications Committee. Each Associate Editor and Business Mana ger are elected by the Publications Committee and the rem aining S taff members are subjected to the approval of the Committee. Directed by William Gunderson, Editor, and Wilferd Renke, Business Manager, the editorial and business staffs have efficiently cooperated to make possible the 1938 Prairie Smoke.

A t the conclusion of the first act Gordon Mowbray, the ever smiling announcer, played by Wilferd Renke, meets his death sup posedly from a pistol shot fired by Bing Bellamy, a crooner of the station, played by W arren Van. Bing is soon cleared, however, by th a t great detective, Jasper Holmes (no relation to Sherlock), played by Erling Nasset. Mr. Holmes launches upon a relentless hunt for the criminal, whose confession comes a t the end of the third act as a result of a most clever and unique device. In addition to those mentioned above, the cast consisted of the following, talent of Station KUX and others: Orville Burda, Helen Cushman, Amy Redington, Ruth Nunn, Lila Mitten, Irene Lee, Claribel Arneson, Virginia Downing, Christina Sword, Win ston Cox, and Louis Lautz. Observers have ranked this production as one of the best ever staged in this institution. The cast were well balanced and th eir portrayals of th eir respective characters left nothing to be desired. No single perform er outranked any other in effective ness of interpretation. The production sta ff consisted of Clifford Culver, Jay Stow, Sarah Bashara, Miriam Miller, and B etty Cuskelly, whose u n tir ing efforts made the production possible.

BAND The recent years have seen a gradual increase in the number of musicians in the college who are interested in group work. The year 1936-37 marked the definite establishm ent of the Band as an inspiration to all athletic meets and contests. This musical group has come to be recognized as the finest medium for training students to organize and direct similar groups. The outstanding development of the year was the trip to Minot State Teachers College in company with the Savage basket足 ball squad. Aa a good-will, this trip did much toward stren g th 足 ening the spirit of friendship th a t exists between the two schools.

ORCHESTRA (co n tin u ed from p reced in g page)

CHECKER AND CHESS CLUB The purpose of this Club is to bring all those students, who are in ter ested in checkers or chess, together to promote the playing of two games th a t have stood the tests of centuries. During the W inter Q uarter the Club held weekly meetings, some of which were devoted to Checker and Chess tournam ents. The Club team de feated Coach Wienbergen’s team 52 to 28. On February 27th the organiza tion held a final tournam ent to determ ine the college checker champion. David Hintz captured top honors with William Hintz placing second. Officers and members include the following: David Hintz, President; Sheldon Cram, Secretary; R. E. Smith, Adviser; and Orville Hagen, H arry Dolyniuk, F ran k Brost, Joe Kress, F rank Thomas, William Meyer, John Hitchrick, M artin K am stra, and Edward Streu, members.

FACTS ABOUT EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

• About 80% of the college students belong to clubs in which member ship is voluntary. This does not include participation in dram atics or athletics. Average membership per participating student am ounts to 2.4 for both men and women. Freshm en show increased interest in memberships this year compared to last. Men’s memberships have increased about 50%, and women’s nearly doubled. Average number of officerships held by officeholders is 1.41 for men and 1.14 for women. Of each ten student officers, six are men. The per centage of officeholders holding only one office is 77%. Only 6% hold as many as three offices each. This is a g reat improvement over 1936, when, for example, 39 offices were held by 12 students. Three fourths of the freshm en and sophomores in the high school be long to no clubs. The situation is approxim ately reversed with the juniors and seniors. 44% of the high school students belong to one or more clubs each. Average membership per student in high school is 1.6. j

Its members are drawn from the participants in all of the conference sports who win m ajor letters in any field. The “D” Club sponsors the sale of candy and pop in the halls and during basketball games, the proceeds of which are used in the purchase of athletic sweaters for all men who have won two and four letters in any sport. This past year the organization attributed five sweaters to its members, and more may be given a fte r the close of the track season. Among the school activities sponsored by the “D” Club are: the Tenth D istrict Basketball Tournam ent and the Missouri Slope Track Meet. The third annual “D” Club Ball will be held some time in May, the proceeds to be used in the purchase of athletic awards and other philanthropic enterprises.

1937 FOOTBALL SEASON Dickinson State Teachers College grid team suffered the most disastrous season in the history of the College, winning only two non-con ference games and losing five conference encounters during the season. In the opening clash of th e season, the Savages defeated a powerful aggregation from South Dakota Mines, 7-0. Schuyler, all conference tackle, was lost to the team for the balance of the season by the reoccurrance of a knee injury. The second game saw the rejuvenated School of Forestry down the Savages, 13-6. This was the first defeat ever given them by the Foresters. Dickinson’s lone tally came on an off-tackle play, F erderer carrying the ball. Valley City Teachers College was host to the Savages in th eir third encounter, and nosed them out by a 6-0 score on an intercepted pass. The following week end the Savages fumbled away a game at Ellendale, 14-0. Two fumbles in the first five minutes of play netted the oppo sition two touch-downs. The balance of the game was played on even terms. Before the largest Homecoming crowd ever to assemble on the College gridiron, the Savages found themselves on th e short end of a 7-0 score, receiving th e ir fourth straig h t defeat at the hands of the Minot Teachers. However, the Savages turned in one of th eir best performances of the season. Coach Wienbergen’s Savages invaded M ontana the following week, scalping the Billings Polly, 9-0, fo r th eir second win. A 75-yard m arch down the field netted the Savages th e ir touchdown, with Doly.niuk crossing the stripe for the tally and conversion. A safety, recovered by F. Wiench and Boyland, netted the extra two points. Dickinson’s last encounter showed a demoralized team, taking a 42-0 defeat a t the hands of a powerful Jamestown squad, to place them in the cellar fo r conference ranking. Following the close of the season, the conference coaches m et in Fargo, and named the all-conference men of the season. John Crawford and Francis Wiench, a t center and guard, were placed on the firs t and second teams respectively.

1938 BASKETBALL SEASON The Savages, playing a 16 game schedule, suffered a very bad season, winning only one conference and two non-conference games. Their season’s play was very erratic, the only high light being a 26-30 defeat of a superior Jamestown College quint. The season opened against Spearfish Normal with the Savages split ting a double header, winning the first game a t Dickinson, 46-51, and los ing the second, played a t New England 36-41. In this series, Elm er Nelson, a promising freshm an, suffered a dislocated shoulder in the second game and was lost fo r a month. The following week the Savages were host to the Billings Polytechnic in a two game series, losing both games by very close margins, 36-40, and 35-44. Amdahl at forward, played outstanding ball for the Savages. A three game series was encountered the following week a t Billings, with the Savages losing two games to the Polly, 26-29 and 33-40. The third game, with E astern Montana Normal netted the Savages their sec ond non-conference win by an overwhelming score of 38-67. In one of the biggest upsets of the season the Savages downed a powerful Jamestown team, 26-30, with F ran k Stumpf, all-conference player of a form er season, netting 17 points to give the Savages the needed scoring pinch to win th eir lone conference victory. This game was char acterized by good ball handling and fine team work. The Feldner Bros., an independent team, showed th eir superiority by handing the Savages the short end of a 36-13 tally. Bad passing and poor team work cost the Savages this encounter. The second conference clash was lost to the Bottineau Foresters, 29-48, in a fast game in which the Savages could not penetrate the visitors’ de fense. Ellendale Normal nosed out the Savages 46-53, with Coach Wienbergen startin g the reserve team against them. A. Wiench showed g reat promise in running up 11 points the first half with Stum pf garnering 15 points the second half. In a retu rn encounter the Jamestown Jimmies avenged themselves by knocking off the locals 32-41, in a rough fast game. The following evening the Savages played a retu rn engagement with Ellendale Dusties and received th eir second defeat a t the hands of Ellen dale by a 38-46 tally. Stumpf again led the scoring with 11 points. Minot, conference champions of last year, downed the Savages 42-65, The local boys put up a good exhibition, but were hopelessly out-classed by the visitors. In a retu rn game, played a t Minot, the Savages bowed fo r the second time to the Beavers onslaught. The final tally was 39-52. F or this occasion the Dickinson College band and the College Reserve team made the trip to Minot. The Savages closed the season a t Bottineau, in the roughest exhibition of basketball played during the season. Playing in close quarters the Savages dropped the game 36-42. The opposition did everything but com mit mayhem. All in all the game was a fittin g trib u te to a disasterous season.

TRACK In the realm of track and field the College may be proud of her athletic conquests. This year, th irty men reported fo r spring training. L etter men back fo r the coming season will form the nucleus from which the competing team s will be built. Ed Tuma, who last season set a new conference record a t 13 feet in the pole vault, is expected to reach greater heights before the lapse of the season. Sammie Robinson, who has 22 consecutive victories in the mile and two-mile, will be out to set a new record in these classics; Sammie runs the mile in 4.41 and the two-mile in 10.27. Clair Kearns, dash man, has been clocked a t 9.8 seconds in the hundred; it is highly probable th a t Kearns may make track history in N orth Dakota during the coming season. O ther men out who may make up the team are Hannel, high hurdler; Wiench, discus, javelin and shot; Fakler, dashes and broad jump. The balance of men out are inexperienced in college track circles but show great promise for the coming season. April 23 will see the Quadrangle meet a t Jamestown, with Dickinson, Valley City and Ellendale competing. May 14 is the date set fo r the All College Meet at Grand Forks and May 28 the N orth Dakota Inter-Collegiate meet is scheduled a t Jam esÂ town. A dual meet between the Savages and the Jamestown Jimmies will also be held during May. Last season saw the Savages in second place in the ConferÂ ence, this year they have the m aterial to make a bid for firs t place honors.

TUMBLING The popularity of tum bling has increased to a point very near th a t expressed fo r the m ajor sports. However, due to its minor position, it has not the opportunity fo r m ajor expression. Despite its limited participation, the skill and showmanship of this group have created a demand fo r exhibitions throughout the Slope area. D uring the Spring Q uarter the tum bling team appeared before audiences in New England, Werner, Halliday, and Killdeer. Those actively engaged in tum bling include: Lyman Kanan, student coach; Sammie Robinson, Francis Wiench, Marcus N assett, and Russell Porten.

BOXING Although boxing has not yet become an inter-collegiate sport, much interest has been developed by Coach Ralph P arr. D uring the year tw enty-eight men turned out for th e manly a r t of self-defense. A t different times throughout the year the boxers gave exhibitions a t various school and public functions, including the Tenth D istrict Basket ball Tournam ent and college basketball games. The W inter Q uarter’s activities were climaxed by the appearance of the boxing team fo r the benefit of an American Legion boxing card. Men who have been enrolled in the boxing curriculum for the year a r e : Herman Repetowski, P eter Cymbolic, Andrew Leier, and H enry Landeis, w elterw eights; Nicholai Boysen, Erling Nasset, and William Eisenbarth, middle-weights; Julius Homelvig, lightw eight; and William Hintz, Merle Hayden, H jalm er Nesseth, and Ralph P arr, light-weights.

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP The athletic program of any institution m ust fulfill two g reat respon sibilities ; it m ust teach the participants in the program the fundam entals of the various sports and develop in these participants attitudes of be havior and idealism. Of the two the la tte r should be th e forem ost and greatest responsibility. Good sportsm anship should become a p art of th e character of every athlete, no m a tte r how known or unknown he may be in the world of sport fo r his abilities and skills. To achieve a quality of good sports manship, every athlete should observe the following rules of conduct: Team members— 1. Should be loyal to one another, should be willing to shoulder the responsibility of th e ir assignments, and not blame other team members when they themselves make mistakes. 2. Should give th eir best in every play of the game and keep their chins up, no m a tter w hat the score is. (C on tin u ed to p age 62)

INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL The intram ural basketball was divided into two leagues, with six teams entered in the “A” league and five team s in the “B” league. The “A” league consisted of the more experienced players, and, it was so ruled, th a t a t any time, a “B” league player could be moved up into the “A ” ranks, but an “A ” player could not be put down into the “B” teams. This grouping of players gave all participants an equal showing in actual play. The various team groupings in each league were individually handled by student coaches, w ith the entire program of intram ural play under the directorship of William Buresh, student coach and participant. In the class “A” league, the Eagles reached the top, a fte r a hotly con tested season, w ith 5 wins and one loss. And in a like manner, the Beav ers in th e class “B” league, fought th e ir way up to the championship, with four wins and one loss to th eir credit.

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP (C on tin ued from page 59)

8. Should not attem p t to beat the rules, or use unfair practices in their play not easily detected by the officials. 4. Should never use plays or methods th a t smack of chicanery or subterfuge. 5. Should never take unfair advantage of th eir opponents, and should never humiliate them, either by running up an unduly large score, or in any other manner. 6. Should never belittle an opponent, or make disparaging rem arks concerning him or his associates. 7. Should not be disgruntled or act as if they felt th a t they were getting the worst of the deal. 8. Should have the will to win and give th e ir best, individually and collectively, toward this end as long as it is done fairly and squarely. 9. Should learn to win like gentlemen, which is a more difficult thing than losing like gentlemen. 10. Should not find fault with the officials, or question th eir rulings, where it is a m a tter of judgm ent. If the athletic program of any institution does not develop this sense of sportsmanship, it does not ju stify its existence.

Among the extra-curricular activities recently organized or reorganized are: the Pep Squad, the Girls’ Athletic Association, the High School E n semble, the Glee Club, and the Active Hi’s, a dram atic organization. In addition to attending several declamation contests, both humorous and oratorical, Model Hi was host to the second declamatory contest sponsored this year by the N orthern Missouri Slope Conference on March 10. This new broadening of Model Hi can be attributed to Mr. G rindstuen’s interest in the field of secondary education. For twenty-two years Mr. Grindstuen has been a teacher and educational adm inistrator in the Slope area. S tartin g in Bowman County, he has held a position in the Belfield High School and in the Beach High School, before coming to D.S.T.C. two years ago. These years of experience have given him a vast knowledge of w hat has been done in the schools of the Slope and have given him the op portunity to direct the new ideas th a t m ark the field of secondary educa tion today.

HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL CLASS The P rairie Smoke S taff of 1937-38 is the second such sta ff to take into account th e abilities of the Model Hi students. This year the Model Hi S taff was a unit in itself and responsible only to the E ditor of the Prairie Smoke. The Staff, under the capable leadership of its Editor, John Mullaney, has efficiently taken care of the gathering and w riting of all th e m aterial th a t is presented in the High School Division. Despite its youth this organization is becoming p art of the Model High School.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS PLAY “Clarence Decides”, a three act play, was presented by the High School Senior Class in May Hall Auditorium, March 1, 1938. The play was under the direction of Miss Helen Switzer, a college sen ior. The cast of characters were as follows: Mrs. Davenport (A unt Susan), Gudrun Holm; her nieces: Mary Ann Lee—Lillian S tef fan, Sarah Maud Lee—Clara Reich, Julia May Lee—Laura Arneson; John Smith, firs t gardener a t Fleurmont, John Shuld; John Smith, second gardener a t Fleurm ont, Herman Reich; John Smith, third gardener a t Fleurmont, Russell P o rte n ; Clarence Moore, Charles Westm ark; Lizette, the maid, Anne Landize; Mrs. Dixby Moore (Clarence’s m other), Ella Duckwitz. Each character, playing his part, made the play interesting and successful.

ACTIVE HI’S Modeled a fte r the College Cue Club and eligible to all Juniors and Seniors, the Active Hi’s is th e dram atic organization of the Model High School. Since its organization in 1936 it has shown excellent progress in the developing of high school talent. A t the meetings the members devoted th eir time to the prac tice and presentation of pantomimes, skits, monologues, and oneact plays. U nder the guidance and direction of Miss Eileen Lyons the members received much valuable instruction in presentation before the footlights. A t the second m eeting of the organization, the following of ficers were elected: K athryn Ordahl, P resid en t; Helen Olson, VicePresident; Boyd Bruvold, Secretary-Treasurer; and Miss Eileen Lyons, Adviser. Because of Mr. Bruvold’s absence during the Spring Q uarter, Betty Haugen was elected to take his place.

HIGH SCHOOL GLEE CLUB Under the supervision of Miss Vance the Model Hi Glee Club of 1937 38 function fully and efficiently. By hard and trying efforts they raised the organization to a high standing in extra-curricular activities. Throughout the year the club has taken p art in many of the high school functions as well as having appeared on a num ber of the regular assembly programs. A t the Junior-Senior banquet the Boys’ Chorus sang a number of selections. A t early meetings of the club, the following officers were elected: Magdalene Hertz, P resid en t; and Florence Reich, Secretary-Treasurer.

HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Senior Class was the guest of the Junior Class a t a banquet and prom held on the tw enty fo u rth of February in the college cafeteria and gym. This was one of the most im portant activities planned by the upper high school classes during the year. R everting to early N orth Dakota history, this activity was woven around a not uncommon scene, “The Badlands Round-up.” The decora tions were so arranged th a t a very realistic Range scene was portrayed. W ith guests and hosts, as cowboys, riding toward an artificial campfire in the center of the “Range” and the whole group singing cowboy melodies, a vivid picture of ranching, with its interesting yet exciting and danger ous days, was depicted. The “Mooing” and “Lowing” of the herd was audible throughout the evening. For the purpose of “cutting out” the u n fit and branding the un marked, mavericks, calves and full-grown “critters” had been rounded up. If they were found to be “fit stu ffs”, they were to be shipped to m arket. Joseph Fedora, toastm aster and “Range Boss”, opened the program with a “Welcome Moo”. A fter Roger Williams related the story of “the F irst Brandings”, Ella Duckwitz, Senior Class President, responded with “Heading for the Last Round-up”. Following President Pippin’s speech, entitled “Get Along Little Dog gies”, Mrs. Robinson, one of the high school advisers, brought the program into the “Last Round”. Since all cowboys enjoy gay music the High School Glee Club sang sev eral selections, including “Music in the A ir”, “S tars of a Summer N ight”, “Limericks”, “M istress Shady”, and “Good N ight Ladies.” A fter the High School Ensemble presentd “Morning Flowers”, the group sang, “Home On the Range”. When th e last of the cattle had been “cut out” and “bunched”, the Range Boss and his cowboys hazed the group to the gym to finish the evening with a western dance.

MODEL HIGH COACHES For many years it has been the custom of the college athletic depart ment to place a student in charge of the different Model Hi athletic activi ties. These students have served as the coaches of all of the high school sports. This year has witnessed a change in the preceding practice. Students still hold the coaching positions, but these student coaches are all Senior members of the new Physical Education course th a t has become a p art of the college curricula. As the coaching counts as practice teaching the dif ferent high school athletic activities are coached by different men. This enables each enrollee of the new course to have an opportunity fo r the much needed experience. This year the Model Hi teams, under th e tutilage of Wilferd Renke, football coach; William Gunderson, basketball coach; and Palvin Amdahl, track coach, enjoyed notew orthy athletic success. In another field, Mode! Hi has become the training school for D.S.T.C.’s Degree students.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON 1937 S tartin g the season w ith good, but inexperienced material, Model Hi went through a successful football season. Coach Renke’s aspirants dropped the firs t game of the 1937 gridiron season to a strong Sentinel B utte six with a 62 to 12 score and followed up with a lose to Golva by a score of 18 to 12. Showing much improvement, the Papooses garnered th eir first scalp by a decisive 49 to 0 victory over the Medora Cowboys. In a retu rn game the Cowboys were again tram pled underfoot by the Model Hi gridsters to the score of 81 to 0. As a final attestatio n of th e ir ability to produce, Model Hi avenged th eir season’s firs t defeat by a 41 to 23 victory over Sentinel B u tte’s: in vasion. L etters were awarded to the following members of the squad: Lester Beaudoin, George Lisko, Roger Williams, who made all-state quarterback, John Mullaney, M artin Weber, Mervin Miller, Orris Bang, and Russel Porten.

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK Although the High School Track squad is composed of inexperienced men, the prospects for 1938 look very good. Several men who have never participated in track before have shown exceptional ability and progress. Model Hi placed third in the Slope Track and Field Meet of 1937. A t this tim e L ester Beaudoin took a first in the broad jum p and F rank Kubic placed first in the half mile. N either of these men are in school this Spring Q uarter. Palvin Amdahl, student coach, is bending every effort to prepare his men for several meets, one of which is the Slope Track and Field Meet on May 21.

MODEL HIGH BASKETBALL SEASON OF 1938 W ith Fred Deiters and Lester Beaudoin form ing the nucleus, and with regulars, Goodale, Gabbert, and Mullaney, Coach Gunderson managed to build a successful Papoose quint. Bang, Miller, Anton, Williams, and Hanuik comprised the reserve strength. The Model Hi squad won eight and dropped nine of th eir regular scheduled games. Of these, six were conference games of which the Papooses won three. This tied Model Hi and Belfield for second place in th eir division of the Conference. The Model Hi cagers earned th e ir chance to play in the Conference Tournam ent by defeating Belfield in the play-off game. A t this tournam ent Model Hi placed third. W ith the loss of Fred Deiters, a fte r the first game of the D istrict Tournament, the Papooses pushed on to win second place, losing to a fast and accurate shooting Killdeer quint. Although Killdeer was able to stop the hard-fighting Papooses, the final score did not give a true picture of the battle fought by the Model Hi boys. Model Hi placed three men on the two All-District teams, with Goodale and Mullaney a t the guard positions on the first, and with Gabbert a t a forw ard birth on the second team. 24 Model H 8 New England Model Hi 25 Taylor __ __ 21 Model Hi 30 Belfield .......... 26 Model H 11 Killdeer ............ 34 Model Hi 32 South H eart.... 21 Model H 21 South H eart .... 84 Model Hi 21 Central Hi ....... . 25 Model H 25 Buffalo Springs 22 Model Hi 29 Belfield _____ 21 Model H 18 Beach ________ 28 Model H 14 Killdeer ............ 29 Model Hi 18 Taylor ........ . 21 Model H 24 Sentinel Butte 38 Model Hi 25 New Salem . . .

MODEL HIGH TUMBLING One of the outstanding features of the past year’s physical education program in the Model High School was the expansion of the opportunity for the students to participate in the sport of tumbling. U nder the super vision of the College Athletic D epartm ent and under the instruction of Jam es Boyland, student coach, tum bling became an athletic activity of m ajor importance. During the W inter Q uarter two classes were organized and instructed, each meeting three times a week. To take care of the wide spread of in dividual differences, one class was composed of boys who had some tum bling experience; the other class started as beginners. Because of the great interest of the boys and because of Mr. Boyland’s efforts, both classes showed great improvement in the execution of many tumbling drills. Picked from the tumbling classes, a team of five boys, Edward Bineke, Roy Coville, Milford Vanvig, Edward Kovash, and Russel Porten, per formed several times at school functions throughout the year.

S e v e n ty -se v e n

PEP SQUAD Shortly a fte r the school year began, a club, new to Model H i’s social register, was organized by the students who were not actively participat ing in athletics, but who were interested in school’s sports . The group met for the express purpose of promoting yell-making for the interscholastic games. During the week, meetings were held to im prove and increase the groups’ cheering abilities. This weekly endeavor was well expressed at each of the athletic contests.

CHEER LEADERS A leader m ust possess certain essential qualities for the proper ful fillment of his position. One of the requisites is the ability to guide a seething group of victory crazed students into a final trium phant shout. Since each team cannot win every time, consequently the “Yell M akers” find themselves confronted repeatedly by the task of leading the disheart ened undergraduates in a cheer for the losing team with th e result th a t many a near defeat is converted into a splendid victory. Much credit is due K athryn Ordahl and Clara Reich for th eir leader ship in this activity.

HOMECOMING On October 22 and 23, President Pippin officially opened the Tenth Annual Homecoming when he extended this invitation: “This is the time when your Alma M ater waits fo r the retu rn of h er children, and form er graduates and students retu rn to renew old friendships and make new ones.” Homecoming festivities opened Friday afternoon with the Alpha Psi Omega dinner, followed by the crowning of the Chief and Princess, Michael A braham and Marion Schuster, in May Hall in the evening. The Chief and Princess, a fte r the installation, lead the Savage Homecomers from the traditional bonfire and pep rally in a snake dance down Dickin son’s business district to climax an eventful evening of riotous fun.

HOMECOMING (c o n tin u e d from p r e ce d in g p age)

On Saturday Homecoming activities were resumed with the Phi Sigma Pi breakfast, which was closely followed by the “Parade of th e Savages”, comprising floats a mile and a half in length, representing every organiza tion on the campus. Honors for the most outstanding entry went to the A rt D epartm ent for one of th e most beautiful and original floats ever to be seen in a Homecoming Parade. A gathering of the Forum members closed the morning’s program. In the afternoon the Savage gridsters were hosts to the Minot Beavers in the annual Homecoming classic. Before a record-breaking crowd of several thousand spectators, the Beavers eked out a 7-0 victory over the inspired Savages. A special feature of the contest was a play-by-play de scription of the game over an am plifying system by the college sports com m entator, P. F. Schuyler. Following the Alumni dinner, the Homecoming dance a t May Hall climaxed a busy week-end and was thoroughly enjoyed by all Homecomers.

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Started a number of years ago, the Junior-Senior Banquet has become an annual event, one looked forw ard to by Juniors and Seniors alike. Recognized as the last get-together of those who have finished th eir Senior year and those about to begin theirs, this banquet is the official farewell of the Junior Class to the Senior Class. On May 5 the Class of ’38 was the guest of the Class of ’39 a t the An nual Junior-Senior Banquet, served in the cafeteria. Amid a delightful setting of palm trees and Hawaiian fruits, the guests were served with an excellent three-course dinner and entertained with a short program. The outstanding features of the decorations were place cards, repre senting palm trees, n u t cups formed from the half shell of the cocoanut, and paper Lei to which had been attached small paper cut outs of Hawaiian sailing vessels. Each of these cut-outs presented a p art of the program and was marked with a large letter. When the Lei was placed about the neck, the word spelled “Aloha”. To fu rth e r the representation of an Hawaiian environm ent the tables were decorated with artificial palm trees and clusters of the tropical fru it of the pineapple plant. Opening the program, Kenneth Hagen, Junior Class President and Toastm aster of the evening, welcomed the guests with “Aloha”. A fter host speaker, John Crawford, symbolized the departure of the Class of ’38 in a description of an Hawaiian “Leavetaking”, Wayne Stroup, Senior Class President, responded with a belief th a t the Class of ’38 would forever strive “Onward”. Following an address by H. E. Murphy, Junior Class Adviser, entitled “H arbour”, several musical selections were presented by Mr. Victor Ulrich, a faculty member of Dickinson’s Central High School. Kenneth Hagen closed the program with “Aloha”, a final farewell.

SENIOR DAY The Institution looks forw ard with eagerness to th a t day each year when the High School Seniors of the Slope area are to be entertained by the Dickinson S tate Teachers College. Seniors from all p arts of the Slope visited the college on April 22. F or the entertainm ent of these young people who were the college’s guests, the program of the day featured special programs, demonstrations, exhibitions, and tours of the campus. A dance in the evening acquainted the guests with the social life of D.S.T.C. This day is sponsored by the college to enable high school students of the Slope to become acquainted with the opportunities and achieve m ents of the student body; to strengthen the spirit of friendliness which has always existed between the college and the high school students of the a re a ; and to encourage youth to seek for higher education.

OPEN HOUSE A ttracting several thousand people to the campus of the College, “Open House” was held April 29. This was the second such activity and is to be an annual opportunity for the Slope district to observe the extent and nature of the work being accomplished by students. Excellent exhibits and well-executed dem onstrations were presented by the college classes and organizations, displaying the results of th e co operation of the instructors and students throughout the school year. In the afternoon a fine program was given by various groups, m anifesting the artistic talen t present in th e institution. The evening program fea tured the Dickinson City Band and speeches by the State Board of Admin istration. Instituted to create a friendlier feeling and clearer perception between the people of the Slope area and the area’s higher educational institution, “Open House” has so fa r achieved great success.

COMMENTS OF THE STAFF Sometimes, as our ever busy and ever active life progresses, we have a tendency to narrow our vision to the extent th a t only the things, th a t make up our immediate surroundings, seem to bear any influence on our thoughts. Even though the m aterial for this book is gathered, sifted, arranged and put together by the Staff, and even though the book is sold as any commercial product would be, the student body should not forget the labor and anxieties th a t have gone into the engraving and the publishing of this yearbook. An enterprise of this kind, in order to accomplish success, m ust depend on the cooperation of many groups. This year, due to circumstances, the P rairie Smoke has been engraved and published in the shortest time on record. We, the Staff, wish to thank the Dakota Photo Engraving ComÂ pany and th e Dickinson Press for th eir understanding of our situation and for the m anner in which they have so willingly exerted th eir every effort toward the completion of this Prairie Smoke. We extend our appreciation to the adm inistration, to the faculty, and to the student body for th eir contributions to the success of this book. W ithout th eir ever-ready help publication would have been impossible. To the business firm s and to the business men of the City of Dickinson who have given th eir financial support and to the Chamber of Commerce who has given its moral support to the Staff, the Business S taff of the 1938 P rairie Smoke wishes to express its gratitude. The sta ff urges every student, every alumni, and every faculty member to give these people and these groups your patronage. The preparation of this book has been a pleasure to the S taff and it is the sincere hope of its every member th a t this book may serve to keep alive memories of the associations and the incidents th a t have been formed and in which a p art has been taken during the past year.
